The rammana is a frame drum
used in the classical music of Thailand and Cambodia.
It is often played simultaneously, either by the same
player or another, with a clay or wooden goblet drum
called thon. For a single player, the thon
lies on the player's lap and is played with the right
hand, while the player holds the rammana with
the left hand on their thigh. The playing technique
for both drums involves low-pitched, rim, and stopped
sounds similar to those used in Arabic drumming, and
snapping techniques similar to those of Persian drumming
are used on the rammana.
